Dale Dry Lake Area This broad, sandy, alluvial fan lying between the Sheep
Hole and Pinto Mountains, and laced with low sand dunes, supports an example of
the typical creosote bush scrub community. Creosote
bush, Larrea tridentata, is the dominant, but there is a substantial amount of
galleta grass, Pleuraphis rigida. Many species of reptiles are found in the area,
including Mojave fringe-toed lizard, Lima scoparia, desert horned lizard,
Phrynosoma platyrhinos, desert iguana, Dipsosaurus dorsalis, and Western
shovel-nosed snake, Chionactis occipitalis.
Coyotes, Canis latrans, and numerous rodents are also present. Integrity: The
area is traversed by a highway and there are some jeep trails in the area;
otherwise it is relatively undisturbed.
